Dug's Special Mission- Mean Jean & Rock BrainĢ. We are now talking about how the characters in the videos could have used these strategies.ġ. I have the students help me re-write these strategies in their own words so that they have a copy in their notebooks. These depict the 6 Superflexible Strategies that defeat Rock Brain. (I'll try to upload some photos of these soon.)įor the next set of lessons, I used the cartoons in the Appendix of the teaching manual. We then create a giant poster of the brain and list some of the functions that fall into each of the three categories that we learned about the session before. Opening Scene of Inside Out- This way we can briefly talk about our memory and emotions I make it a point to tell them that some jobs can be in more than one of these categories.Ģ. The kids seem to enjoy it and I like the different little segments.Īfter watching this video, I used the smartboard to talk about the brain's functions in three different categories: physical movement, social smarts, and school smarts.

Social thinking rock brain manual#
We used the handouts in the manual to talk about things that are flexible/unflexible thinking.
The first two actual Superflex lessons consisted of reading the book to the class using the wonderful document cameras. I picked these videos because the cartoon drawings force the students to pay more attention to the characters than some of the Pixar. We watched the majority of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! For students who don't celebrate Halloween, I picked You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown. I modeled it for them using their ideas and explained that all of the writing I did were things that they told me. We are slowly working our way through "Superflex takes on Rock Brain and the Unthinkables" and the teaching manual.įirst, I decided to add some additional lessons on our "Smart Guess Tools" because most of the classes really struggled to provide much information in each section.
